AI Art

Expanding on a comment exchange from a previous post.

Do I like AI art, or do I disapprove of it? There are at least two things to take into consideration. (There are likely a lot more than two, but for the moment these two are the ones which occur to me.) The first is the quality of the art's appearance - how good does it look? The second is the content of the artwork itself - what is shown in the picture?

With regard to the quality of the appearance, I feel that a competent artist produces work which is superior to AI. This is largely because I feel that AI artwork looks rather bland. I suspect that this is because it is too uniform. A human artist will necessarily have more variation in the appearance of the art, some aspects will receive more attention than others, some aspects will be slightly less perfect. This can give the final image a greater richness of appearance. Although I grant you, a human artist of less skill will have an accumulation of such issues which falls short of what well-designed AI artwork can achieve.

However, I feel that the issue of overall quality is less important than the content of the artwork. This is the matter of the design implemented by the person behind the art, whether done by the artist himself or by someone directing an AI tool. What are the expressions and body language of the characters? What are they wearing? (If anything.) What are they doing? What is the setting? If there is any dialog, what are they saying? At least for erotica, this sort of thing can be much more important than how skillfully hands and faces are rendered. This is the sort of thing which captures the viewer's imagination, and either gets the viewer to immediately reach between his/her legs or just yawn and move on. When art design shows good imagination, the works of a rough artist who can barely sketch a human figure can possibly be more interesting or exciting than something rendered by a highly skilled artist. And in this regard, if an AI tool is skillfully used by someone with a good imagination who directs the tool in producing an interesting concept, then we the viewer can gain something worthwhile which we might not have otherwise been able to get if the person in question has little or no skill as an artist in their own right.

And so ... If we are talking about run of the mill art, nudes or standard sexual acts without much else going on, then I am generally opposed to AI art. In that case the quality of the art is the most important thing, and AI art simply cannot reach the same level of interest to the eye as a good artist. But if we're talking about art which captures and entices the viewer's imagination, then while a good artist is very welcome, I am also happy to receive the efforts of less skilled artists, or people who can get an AI tool to output what they have imagined.

Special Sauce

For this cartoon idea, Akane and Ranma are sitting out in the schoolyard of Furinkan High School. They are eating their lunches out of bento boxes, and seem to be doing so with great pleasure. Akane comments to Ranma, "I wonder what this sauce is that Kasumi used today?" Ranma, in female form for some reason, replies, "Yeah! It tastes really great!"

Meanwhile, Hikaru Gosunkugi is standing behind a tree, which is itself in the background behind Akane and Ranma. He has his huge cock hanging out, mostly limp, holding it with one hand. A knowing look is on his face, and semen is dripping from the end of his prick.

(Presumably Akane and Ranma were distracted for a few minutes a short time ago. Perhaps they had to beat up Kuno or something, while the sauce was being added to their lunches.)

Alternate Mother

The setting for this cartoon idea is inside the Tendo dojo. A slightly older Akane Saotome née Tendo is standing to one side wearing either a gi or casual clothing. She is holding a baby boy with black hair, although the hair may perhaps have a bluish tint. Female Ranma — also looking slightly older — is nude and down on the wooden floor of the dojo, either on hands and knees or on elbows and knees. Ranma is restrained in some manner, such as ropes around wrists and knees, or in some other manner. Ranma's face is turned upward to look at Akane with a beseeching expression, as if she has just asked a question related to her horror over her current situation. Ryoga Hibiki is kneeling behind Ranma, fucking her enthusiastically with an enormous prick.

Akane is saying to Ranma, "Because there's no way that I'm going through another pregnancy — let alone a repeat of that 11 hour hell of childbirth! Since it's your mother who's insisting on having at least four grandchildren, then you can be the one to give her the others! That's why!"

Magical Girl Akane

In this cartoon idea, Akane Tendo is standing outdoors somewhere, looking down at herself in shock and anger. She is wearing a magical girl costume consisting of boots, stockings, a belt around her waist, some type of harness which encircles her tits, some type of crown or tiara, a staff weapon or similar held in her hand, and possibly gloves. However, her tits, ass, and pussy are all fully exposed. Beside Akane is a genie whose lower part is smoke funneling out of a lamp on the ground.

Akane is shouting to the genie, "This isn't the uniform I had in mind when I wished to be a magical girl!" The genie is shrugging and replies to her, "That uniform looks great to me. Not that it matters, since you're all out of wishes now."

Unlucky Day

A fairly simple, and dark, cartoon idea, and not original at all. Akane Tendo is lying on her back on the ground, spread-eagled, with her wrists and ankles tied to large stakes or poles driven deeply into the ground. She is nude, scratched up, and with some bruises. There are tears in her eyes and tear tracks on her face. There is a mix of semen and blood on the ground under her ass, and possibly more drops of semen elsewhere, such as her face. A boy in a Furinkan school uniform is standing at Akane's feet, looking down at her.

Akane says, "Please help me! I've been raped!"

The boy is grinning and unbuckling his pants. He replies, "This is really your unlucky day, isn't it?"

Phobia Cure

This cartoon idea is set in Doctor Tofu's clinic, in an examination room. Female Ranma is nude, up on an examination table on her elbows and knees with her ass high in the air. She is drawn to look cat-like to suggest that she is in the neko-ken state, similar to the way her face was drawn in the manga at such times. Doctor Tofu is kneeling behind Ranma, also naked, and fucking her. He is wearing cosplay cat ears on his head, and has a tail attached to a butt plug stuffed in his ass. Tofu is holding a telephone, and is saying to someone on the other end, "Yes, I think my cure for Ranma's cat phobia is starting to work!"
